Ahoy, while not as popular as [Christmas] or [Arbor Day], Talk Like a Pirate Day is a recognized and heartily celebrated international holiday.

founded by [John Baur and Mark Summers] durin’ a raquetball game and, coincidentally, occurin’ the same day’s as Mark’s ex-wife’s birthday, Talk Like a Pirate Day has taken the world by storm. A pence for an old man o’de sea?
